Commands from an LU 6.2 device

To enter a command from an LU 6.2 device, allocate a conversation using an IMS™ command verb as the TPNAME.

The / must be included in the command word. The password option is not valid. (The password must be supplied as a part of the LU 6.2 ALLOCATE from the partner.) The normal LU 6.2 security provisions apply for this transaction.

Restriction: The APPC synchronization level of CONFIRM is ignored for commands from LU 6.2 devices.

The following three examples show the sequence of steps used to issue commands by allocating a synchronous conversation on an LU 6.2 device:

Example 1 for commands from an LU 6.2 device

ALLOCATE
  -LUNAME=luname of IMS
  -TPNAME=/DISPLAY                    (Single segment command)
SEND
  -DATA=LTERM VA01 VA02.comments      (Data after period treated as comments)
PREPARE_TO_RECEIVE
RECEIVE                               (Get header)
RECEIVE                               (Get output for LTERM VA01)
RECEIVE                               (Get output for LTERM VA02)
RECEIVE                               (Get time stamp)
RC=DEALLOCATE

Example 2 for commands from an LU 6.2 device

ALLOCATE
  -LUNAME=luname of IMS
  -TPNAME=/CHANGE                     (Multisegment command)
SEND
  -DATA=NODE                          (Can spread over several SENDs)
SEND
  -DATA=VAT02 ASR OFF.comments        (Data after period treated as comments)
PREPARE_TO_RECEIVE
RECEIVE                               (Get DFS058 CHANGE COMMAND COMPLETED)
RC=DEALLOCATE

Example 3 for commands from an LU 6.2 device

ALLOCATE
  -LUNAME=luname of IMS
  -TPNAME=/BROADCAST
SEND
  -DATA=NODE VAT0*                    (1st SEND: the destination)
SEND
  -DATA=HELLO, HOW ARE YOU ALL?       (Subsequent SENDs: message to broadcast)
PREPARE_TO_RECEIVE
RECEIVE                               (Get DFS058 BROADCAST COMMAND COMPLETED)
RC=DEALLOCATE
